In the basic New Keynesian model, suppose that there is an increase in government spending. • First, suppose that the central bank does nothing (accommodates the shock). Illustrate onthe graphs and explain what will be the effects on inflation and output? • Second, suppose that economy initially has inflation equal to the central bank’s inflationtarget and an output gap of zero. What action do you expect the central bank wouldundertake? Illustrate you answer on the graph and explain. PLEASE SHOW ALL HAND WRITTEN STEPS AND WORK!

Prompt We have been discussing major macroeconomic concepts like the ADAS Model and Fiscal Policy. This is an opportunity to apply that knowledge to a real-world scenario. Choose one of the following scenarios and identify whether it is an example of a recessionary economy or inflationary economy. Next, analyze possible Neoclassical solutions for it. Then, analyze possible Keynesian solutions for it. What would the impact on the economy be in the short-run? Long-run? Scenario 1: An increase in the unemployment rate to 7.4% has occurred. Inflation has increased causing a decline in consumer spending. Exports have declined by more than $4 billion. This has caused a decrease in GDP by 3.7%. Scenario 2: An increase in consumer and government spending has occurred. This has increased GDP by 4.4%. Currently, inflation rate has increased to 1.6%. Unemployment has remained at 5.5%. Scenario 3: An increase in the stock market by 26.5% has occurred. Companies are stockpiling the earnings…
.SOlVE ONLY HIGHLIGHTED QUESTION Suppose we observe that US economy is experiencing low unemployment (3%), faster-than-average real GDP growth (4%), and increasing inflation (rising from 2% to 4%). a. Draw the AS/AD graph for the kind of shock that would generate these symptoms, and give an example of how that kind of shock might happen. What kind of change in the economy leads to this kind of AS/AD graph? b. Briefly discuss what you see in the graph that corresponds to each of the symptoms. E.g. what part of the picturetells you we have low unemployment? b)Describe the two goals that the Federal Reserve is required to pursue with monetary policy. Given these two goals, what specific actions will the Fed take in reaction to the shock, and how will these affect real GDP in the short run? Be sure to explain how the proposed action helps achieve the Fed's goals.
09. The left-hand Which of the following statements is tru about the diagrams above depicting the macroeconommy in both Keynesian and Classical frameworks and a change from AEo to AE* and ADo to AD*? a) The left-hand diagrams show the effect of an increase in Aggregare Expenditures (and Aggregate Demand), where the short-run Aggregate Supply is horizontal, meaning a constant products price level. b) The right hand diagrams show the effect of an increase in Aggregate Expenditrues (and Aggregate DEmand), where short-run Aggregate Supply is vertical (constant Aggregate Quantity Supplied). c) The left-hand diagrams illustrate the Keynesian range of the shor-run Aggregate Supply curve, where Keynesian expansionary policy does not cause any inflation and thus is very effective. d) The right-hand diagrams illustrate the Classical or Monetarist range of the short-run Aggregate Supply curve, where Keynesian expansionary policy is totally dissipated in…
Macro Economics 1. Explain how the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policy depends on whetherthe policy change is initiated at a low or high level of output relative to full-employment output. Make sure to provide your answer with the relevant graphsand mathematical equations.
es s in Assume the following macroeconomic conditions in the United States and that US policy makers desire to achieve their three macro-policy goals defined in the usual way. A. Output has risen above potential output, creating a large positive output gap. B. The employment rate has risen, creating an unemployment rate of 3%. C. The inflation rate has risen to 8% per year. Which statement is CORRECT? Output is too high; the unemployment rate is too low; and the inflation rate is too high. Output is too low; the unemployment rate is too low; and the inflation rate is too high. Output is too high; the unemployment rate is too low; and inflation rate is too low. Output is too high; the employment rate is too low; and the inflation rate is too low. Output is too high; the employment rate is too low; and the inflation rate is too high. OO
ון רבSuip Reset the graph and click on the blue square to apply a negative supply shock the the economy. Then adjust the movable point to view the effects of potential policy responses to the negative supply shock. Use what you observe to answer the questions that follow. a. In response to the effects of a negative supply shock, policymakers decide to decrease aggregate demand. What are the effects of this choice? O an increase in aggregate output, and an increase in the aggregate price level an decrease in aggregate output, and an decrease in the aggregate price level an increase in aggregate output, and an decrease in the aggregate price level an decrease in aggregate output, and an increase in the aggregate price level b. What are the overall tradeoffs with regard to this choice? Policymakers have chosen to fight inflation by increasing AD, but this further reduces aggregate output and makes the recession worse. Policymakers have chosen to fight inflation by decreasing AD, but this…
